the handling of the latter. Then with almost dramatic suddenness the river has scoured itself clear of the obstruc- tion and the port has been able to re- sure its wanted activities. A scheme was prepared for effecting fomo improvement, and money raised for it on the security of a special sur. tax of five per cent. on the Customs. Having almost reached completion, the operation of the scheme was posed by farmers who feared that their lands would be flooded, with the result that the improvements antici- pated have not been achieved. The Consular Body has decided to protest to the proper authorities, but nothing is as yet known "as to what resulte "that step is likely to secure. It does not seem possible to stop collection of the surfax, because the money which it secures has been obtained and spent, and the loan has to be served; but there is a very good case for contend.. ing that it is the duty of Chinese official to see that the scheme is put into operation, and if farmers are likely to suffer front the flooding of their land they should be removed to some other place and compensated for the change--N.G.D.N.

It is learned that eighty tons of high explosive aerial bombs which were evaded on another truck in the siding was hauled away to a safe distance on the first sign of the outbreak of fire.
